Live comments

  • 0' - KICK OFF: Costa Rica gets underway.
  • 5' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Youstin Salas, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 10' - The travelling Costa Rica supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Yeltsin Tejeda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 25' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 25 minutes.
  • 30' - It looks like no one’s ball. Costa Rica is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 35' - It looks surprising Costa Rica does not make any changes. Francisco Calvo has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 40' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 41' - That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Anthony Contreras.
  • 42' - Anthony Contreras is having his name booked by the referee on 42.
  • 44' - Japan player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 46' - Takuma Asano is replacing Ayase Ueda for the Japan side.
  • 51' - Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 56' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Costa Rica winning 100% of all matches.
  • 61' - It’s a booking for Costa Rica player. Celso Borges gets a Yellow card.
  • 62' - It’s a booking for Costa Rica player. Celso Borges gets a Yellow card.
